Two things. The link you posted doesn't agree with statcan's website https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/241206/dq241... Second it's hard to compare unemployment rates to 10 years a

They rapidly expanded the LMIA program which provisions visas for primarily low income work. Additionally they realllly expanded the international student visa pool, without actually checking who they were granting visas to. The result was

Really appreciate the summary! As a Canadian these things feel very obvious but since most of this site is from the US this should help the conversation a lot.

Take that problem in the states an multiply it by 3x in Canada. Lower Income, High Prices, Less Options. I'm in a similar position that I'm personally doing okay but almost everyone I grew up with has had to either leave Canada fo

Seems odd though that despite these issues being provincial that every province is seemingly struggling with these issues... Almost like there is a larger macroeconomic force at play.

The approval rating seems like an unhelpful metric here if the actual resulting election is such a landslide. Also I think there is a bit of a different here between Harpers Conservatives and Tredeaus Liberals. In 2015 people were actually

The issues were self created by skyrocketing the immigration rates / TFWs. All they had to do was .... nothing, just keep the system as it was. With that it seems like there has been a lot of heavy lobbying by companies built on low wa

I have to ask based on this. Do you live in Canada? Canada / India tensions is definitely a pretty core driver of the immigration sentiment in Canada. Unfortunately in many ways Indian TFW have been linked to a large number of national

If anyone has wondered this Canada in the past 10 years should be a fantastic case study. It seems almost embarrassingly clear from the data that these 2 factors have a strong correlation / causation.

I don't think 10x your immigrant population in 2 years is demographically the same as a natural population growth over 10 years. They result in 2 very different distributions. One having a very large segment of the population in one sp
